During the past five years, Appalachian State University,
the Vatican Observatory and the David Dunlap Observatory
have been engaged in a Nearby Stars (NStars) project to
obtain spectra of all dwarf and giant stars earlier than M0
within 40 parsecs of the Sun (3600 stars). We are using
these spectra to provide new, precise spectral types and
basic physical parameters (T\rm eff, \log g and
[M/H]). In addition, we are providing measures of the
chromospheric activity of these stars. This poster will
present an analysis of two-thirds of the entire NStars
sample and will provide results on exoplanet stars,
chromospherically active stars, and other stars in the
sample of astrophysical interest. This project was supported
in part by a contract from NASA/JPL.
